Here's what we've been up to...

Our inquiry this term is "Keeping Ourselves Safe". So we've been looking at being confident; what that looks like, sounds like and feels like. We've also discussed when we feel confident and when we don't.

We've been doing lots of art work lately. It's been linked to our inquiry work so we have focused on creating different self-portraits. 

We've been reading 'George's Marvelous Medicine'. This is a really funny book about a boy who creates a 'medicine' for his horrible grandma. 

We've been learning about how to write instructions as well. We've created instructions for how to make an amazing sandwich (for Angus the Alien who has never had a sandwich before), our amazing art work and most recently for our own marvellous medicine.

We've also been talking lots about different topics. Most mornings we'll discuss a problem, question or idea together. We try to listen carefully to others and to explain our thoughts clearly. Sometimes the questions are silly and we can be creative. Other times they are serious and we have to think a bit more seriously. Here's a few we've answered already:

What makes us different from other animals?

What makes a hero a hero?

The moon is made of cheese. How does that effect the world?
